    Hi lady bees,

    I'm looking to do a DIY invites and wedding related stationary (total amateur) and I was wondering if anyone has seen any cool 'bridge' themed inspirations?  I love the theme of a "bridge" for our wedding because 1) my FI and I and our families are being 'bridged' by our wedding; and, 2) we met and fell in love in Chicago where there are many little bridges across the river.

    If you have any ideas you'd like to share, let me know!

    Aw. I can see where this would be so cute! You could take pictures of different famous bridges as table numbers. Have cute little bridges on your invitations I found these

    There isn't a lot of sources but with lots of searching and brainstorming it could be really cute! Maybe some other will come up with some great ideas.

    Love those letterpressed invites for inspiration!

    ALSO, you can make custom postage stamps from Zazzle - if you have a picture of you and your fiance on one of your favorite bridges, or a picture of one of the Chicago bridges, you could use that on your postage stamp :)  It's the little things that make me excited...

    I know it's not Chicago, but I googled "bridge rubber stamp" and found this:

    @Quiche - these are wonderful!!!  I see you are in Chicago?  For e-pic, I so want a picture of us on top of 'Chicago' bridge - one right by Japonais.  Not sure how we will go about getting it, but I think that'll make a great postage!  Thanks for the ideas.  :)

    [I was kinda having a gloomy day, and you totally made my day!]
